Brian Turner Yorkshire Pudding Recipes

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sift together the flour and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until light and foamy. Stir in the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Pour the drippings into a 9-inch pie pan, cast iron skillet, or square baking dish. Put the pan in oven and get the drippings smoking hot. Carefully take the pan out of the oven and pour in the batter. Put the pan back in oven and cook until puffed and dry, 15 to 20 minutes.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to hot (425F/220C/Gas 7)
• Put a teaspoonful of oil or dripping in each of several muffin tins or, to be truly Yorkshire, a couple of tablespoonsful in a larger roasting tin and place in the oven until the fat is really hot and beginning to smoke. Meanwhile combine the rest of the ingredients and beat to form a batter of the consistency of double cream.
• If you wish you can add mixed dried herbs to add a savoury flavour.
• When the fat is smoking take the tin out of the oven and place it over a low light so that it doesn't cool as you add the batter.
• Pour in the batter If you're using muffin tins don't over fill.
• Remember that the puddings will rise and puff up.
• Put the tin back into the top of the oven as soon as possible and leave for about 20-25 minutes by which time they will be puffed up and crisp.
• When my grandmother used to make Yorkshire pudding to go with the Sunday roast we would eat it in the true Yorkshire way.
• That is, as a first course with just a savoury gravy poured over it. After all, the idea of Yorkshire pudding is to fill you up so that you don't want so much of the more expensive meat! If there was any of the pudding left over as a treat we kids would have it as a desert with Golden Syrup poured over it. Servings: 4 Ian Rice (Yorkshireman)

GLUTEN-FREE YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Make up the batter mix. Tip the flours into a bowl with 1/2 tsp salt, make a well in the middle and crack the eggs into it. Whisk it together, then slowly add the milk, whisking all the time until lump-free. Leave to stand until you are ready to cook.
• Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Drizzle a little oil evenly into two 12-hole non-stick muffin tins and put into the oven to heat through.
• Pour the batter into a jug, then remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully and evenly pour the batter into the holes. Put the tins back in the oven and leave undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the puddings have puffed up and browned. Serve immediately.

GORDON RAMSAY'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Blend until well combined and place in the refrigerator until ready to use (allow to rest for at least 30 minutes).
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Put 1 teaspoon of the oil (or beef drippings) into each section of a 12-hole Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tray and put into the oven on the top shelf until very hot, almost smoking.
• As soon as you take the tray from the oven, pour in the batter to three-quarters fill the tins (it should sizzle) and immediately put back into the oven.
• Bake until the Yorkshire puddings are well risen, golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't open the oven door until the end or they might collapse.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour and salt. Do not overmix. Allow the batter to rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Add a teaspoon of fat to each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin and transfer to the oven to heat, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once hot, divide batter equally to fill the cups about halfway, and return the muffin tin for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the puddings are golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
